How to set Chromecast?

In this article, I will try to briefly explain how to set up Chromecast and how to install the Chromecast device and application. First of all, it is useful to briefly explain what this device does. Similar to the Apple TV application, it allows you to watch images and videos on your computer or smartphone over the wireless network by transferring them to the TV screen.

While Apple TV only works with Apple products, Chromecast works on all platforms. Although it has not yet been released in our country, it can be obtained by ordering abroad. When you get the device, you will see that it has a shape similar to an mp3 player.

We need to connect the Chromecast product you unbox to the TV you are using at home. For this, there must be at least one HDMI and one USB 2.0 input on the TV. If there is no USB port, you can also use the power adapter included in the box.

Connect the device to the HDMI port and then connect the power cable to the device. The status light on the device will start blinking. From the TV menu, go to Source and select the HDMI port to which you connected the Chrome cast. In a few seconds you will see the Chrome logo on the screen. After that, come to your PC and download the Chromecast app.

How to set up Chromecast?

• Activate your computer’s wifi connection.
• Double click on the shortcut on the desktop. On the screen that opens, check Continue.
• The screen that says Found ChromecastXXXX appears. If the number written in XXXX is the same as the number written on the TV screen, the device has been found. Click on the link that says I See The Code. You will see the names of the wireless networks around you. Select your wireless network and enter the wireless network password.
• Click on the Setup button.
• Press the Next button and wait without touching anything. After a while you will see a warning on the TV screen and PC screen that the connection has been established.

When this logo appears in the lower right corner of Youtube or in the upper right corner of Chrome, you can click on it to stream the image to your TV.

The most important thing to note when doing this is that you should check that your computer’s IP settings are suitable for receiving Auto IP and that your modem is also available for automatic IP distribution. Otherwise Chromecast will not work.

Once you’re done, run Chrome Web Browser on your computer and download the Chromecast extension from the Chrome Market in the My Apps section. In the new version, chromecast does this for you. If it doesn’t, you can do it manually.

You can perform similar settings on a smartphone to transfer the image from the phone to the TV screen.
